The idea of European integration emerged from anti-fascist movements. Criticising the autarkic economy attempt to escape political regulation and democratic participation, the authors of the Manifesto of Ventotene, written 75 years ago, pre-empted the political battle against the totalitarian side of neoliberalism.

Given the current development of the EU, we see a critical reappropriation of the Manifesto of Ventotene, in a post-Fordist world, as necessary. We have therefore asked left-wing intellectuals from several EU states to reassess the Manifesto of Ventotene.
